Strong's Lexicon exapostelló: To send out, to send forth Original Word: ἐξαποστέλλω Word Origin: From the Greek preposition "ἐκ" (ek, meaning "out of") and the verb "ἀποστέλλω" (apostelló, meaning "to send"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is שָׁלַח (shalach), which means "to send." Usage: The verb "exapostelló" is used in the New Testament to denote the action of sending someone out with a specific purpose or mission. It often implies a sense of authority and commissioning, where the sender has a particular intention or task for the one being sent. This term is frequently used in the context of God or Jesus sending out individuals to fulfill divine purposes. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, sending someone on a mission was a common practice, whether for diplomatic, military, or commercial purposes. The concept of being sent with authority was well understood, and the New Testament writers used this term to convey the divine commissioning of individuals for God's work. In Jewish culture, prophets and messengers were often seen as being sent by God to deliver His messages to the people.
